Its so easy for stuff like this to happen, and we are still shocked when it happens. Looks like she went aground on the trailing arms, probably without anything being hurt. Hope so!

Summit Point early last year, I released the tiedowns with the trailer ramps down. The car was sitting waiting to be unloaded.
Got distracted when the Churches arrived with their brand spanking new enclosed trailer. A bunch of up walked over to ogle and congratulate, etc. Maybe 10 minutes passed, then we saw my car rolling along in the paddock, backwards, at a decent rate of speed. It had begun to roll, hit the ramps, and launched itself in to the paddock. I managed to get behind it in time to stop it before it collided with anything. A very close call, and another instance of how easily these things can happen. Doh!

David mentioned wheel chocks. After removing the engine, we were winching the carcass onto the trailer. Had to stop when the car was almost fully on [back wheels just short of the trailer deck] to reposition the winch. Wheels were chocked, of course.

Next thing we knew, the chock started to slide along the trailer deck as the car rolled back off the trailer, gaining speed and threatening to steer itself off the ramps. Dave was spreadeagled across the trailer bed trying to stop it with the winch line. Looked like a bass fisherman who had hooked a shark! I threw myself at the A pillar and tried to steer it and stop it at the same time [making a bad job of both]. We just managed to stop it before it ploughed into the fence beside David's drive. Double Doh!

So, you've all been warned. Don't park your car behind my trailer! Too risky!
